Samsung MX greenlit the Exynos 2400 SoC for the Galaxy S24

The rumored Exynos 2400 SoC has been in the headlines a lot lately. But even though Samsung's chipset division appears to be working on this new Exynos solution, its purpose was open to debate. Is the Exynos 2400 SoC destined for the Galaxy S24 flagship series? Or is Samsung creating a new high-end Exynos SoC for its clients? Will the Exynos 2400 chip be adopted by a third-party portable gaming console? Or does Samsung want to sell the SoC to partner OEMs from China?

Nothing is official until it is, so you could say that the purpose of the Exynos 2400 will be open to interpretation until Samsung officially spills the beans on the Galaxy S24 series. But according to a new rumor, there's nothing more to debate: the Exynos 2400 SoC is meant to fuel the Galaxy S24 flagship phones in select markets.

Samsung MX gives the Exynos 2400 SoC the seal of approval

Samsung MX (Mobile Experience) reportedly greenlit the Exynos 2400 SoC for mass production. And the Mobile Experience division wouldn't have been involved with giving the chipset its seal of approval if it didn't have plans to use it for its own purposes.

That purpose is the Galaxy S24 series, says the new rumor. And as to why the Exynos 2400 chip is supposedly meant for the Galaxy S24 flagship series and not the next Fan Edition phone — presumably called the Galaxy S23 FE — well, it's because the S23 FE will be powered by the Exynos 2200 SoC. Supposedly. Again, not much is officially confirmed at this point in time, but this is what the rumor mill is now churning, and more reports are now leaning in favor of the idea that Exynos will return to the Galaxy S flagship series next year for better or for worse.

Samsung is supposedly mass-producing the Exynos 2400 SoC on a 4nm LPP (Low Power Plus) manufacturing process. The Galaxy S24 series may be unveiled in January or February 2024. It should consist of a base, a Plus, and an Ultra model, and all three Galaxy S24 variants are supposedly getting more base RAM for improved productivity and multitasking capabilities.
